Kre-O

Based on the upcoming Star Trek: Into Darkness movie, this set has Kreon minifigures of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and two Specialists along with 432 pieces. It’s also got electronic bricks and the top of the ship comes off to reveal the bridge. Preorder now for delivery in May.

No, that’s not a typo. This is a two foot tall Metroplex Transformer who made his debut at Toy Fair in New York City over the weekend. He’s officially the tallest Transformer ever, just beating out Fortress Maximus and he has two different modes. You can transform him into vehicle mode or city form as long as you can swing his $125 price tag. There will be lots of other incredible figures in the Transformers Generations line including Stealth Bomber Megatron, Bumblebee, Orion Pax and Trailcutter. Expect to see these figures in stores this Spring.

The Star Trek: Into Darkness Kre-O building sets debuted at Toy Fair this weekend with ships and figures for multiple races that will be featured in the film. There’s nothing particularly spoilery in the images, but if you want to be completely surprised when the movie debuts on May 17th then you may want to save this post for later. There’s the USS Enterprise, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, Spock’s Volcano Mission, Transporter Trouble, Space Dive, Kreon Figure Packs and Micro-Build Ships. All the sets will be available in May 2013 with the Kreon Figure Packs being released as a set of six in May with an additional 12 coming in the Fall.

In order to promote the release of the Transformers Kre-O line in Asia, Toys “R” Us Hong Kong commissioned a stop motion video from John Huang, who previously directed similar Final Fantasy and Street Fighter animations. The result is so well done you’ll probably forget you’re watching a bunch of toys beat the hell out of each other.
